Burbank, Leonardo's Appian Trail Productions.

Martin came to the front desk, met Thomas who was waiting here, and entered the dressing room together.

Similarly, he called Robert in Atlanta.

The high priest of the Cola Cult immediately took action.

There was no one in the audition room for the time being, so Thomas said: "Return a favor, return a favor, and I will fight for you with the salary and treatment you deserve."

Martin nodded: "When the audition results are confirmed, you can go ahead and do it."

He is here to return the favor, but the agent is not.

Moreover, the scale of the script is very large.

Martin doesn't care about size. He has taken off his clothes too many times along the way.

There is always something to gain every time you take it off, even if it is a simple exercise that costs hundreds of millions, you also gain enjoyment and happiness.

Hollywood has a very mature mechanism for nudity scenes. There are corresponding prices and regulations for how much you take off and where you expose yourself.

Thomas needs to discuss these with the crew.

Several stylists and makeup artists came in and started styling Martin.

Thomas left the dressing room, but Bruce remained here, looking at everyone with wolf-like eyes.

Today is an audition with makeup.

Martin's beard was cleanly shaved, and his long hair was styled into an old-fashioned parting. His already young and handsome face looked several years younger.

The old-fashioned clothes were brought over. The costume designer looked at Martin's big frame and said, "Change to two sizes larger!"

Assistant, hurry up and get it.

The feeling of a young boy who is on the thin side can also be created through styling and lenses. A well-proportioned but strong figure like Martin can wear baggy clothes.

Of course, there is a limit to this. It will definitely be useless to create a Johnson who can gain unlimited muscle.

If it were O'Neal, there would be no way.

Under the careful care of several top makeup artists and stylists in the industry, Martin seemed to have returned to his appearance when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

On the other side, many members of the crew entered the audition room one after another.

Director Sam Mendes, actress and producer Kate Winslet, investor Leonardo DiCaprio, original author Bernhard Schlink, and producer and screenwriter Anthony Minghella.<

/p>

Then there are the representatives of the Screen Actors Guild.

Kate asked: "Has the makeup artist finished it?"

An assistant said: "It will take about ten minutes."

Casting director Gina led people to adjust the camera.

Bernhard, the author of the original work, said: "The time span is too big. How can one actor do it? Or a young actor acting in a commercial film."

"It's easy to solve using two actors." Anthony has a similar view, but he also has doubts: "The only problem is that two different actors can easily bring a sense of fragmentation to the characters."

Kate finally found a suitable candidate in Martin and said: "Let's see the results of the audition first and then talk about other things."

Leonardo sat next to him and watched the play with great interest.

Anthony and Benhard don’t say any more, they are going to audition soon, and it’s clear at a glance what the specific situation will be.

The door to the audition room opened from the outside, and an assistant led Martin in.

Benhard, the author of the original work, carefully looked at the actor and found that the actor had a good appearance and a very strong aura. It was obvious at a glance that he was a very confident person.

This does not match the temperament of the young male protagonist.

Anthony is also observing Martin, but he will not judge easily, because excellent actors are all people with many faces, but at the age of 25...

Martin, Kate and others greeted each other one by one and looked behind them.

As expected, the dedicated game team members focused on playing mobile phones and never participated in actual work, showing extremely high professionalism.

Sam Mendes took out a script and handed it to Martin: "Let's get started."

Kate stood up and walked to the camera: "I'll play for Martin."

The audition scene is a scene where the heroine Hannah changes clothes and the male protagonist Michelle peeks in.

Casting director Gina glanced at the camera monitor and said: "Start!"

As she finished speaking, Kate turned her back to Martin, unbuttoned her buttons one by one, and took off her coat.

Martin sneaked to the edge of the prop curtain. The shyness and confusion on his face were gradually replaced by curiosity. He secretly stretched out his head, and then retracted it under the urging of his inner morality.

But the strong desire finally defeated the shackles of morality and the shyness of the boy. Martin seemed to be pulled by a magical force, walked out of the curtain, and couldn't help but watch Kate take off her coat...

The original author Bernhard looked at Martin blankly, as if he was seeing some kind of true representation of the protagonist Michel Berg.

The strong and confident actor opposite him completely disappeared after the casting director called start.

The person is still the same person, but in his eyes, he is no longer that person.

His temperament has completely changed. The self-confidence of a successful person is gone, replaced by the youthful and restrained youth. When he walks out of the curtain in hesitation, people can clearly feel his curiosity and interest in mature women.

Desire, and even the indescribable but understandable greed for flesh appeared in his eyes and expressions.

Anthony Minghella looked at the actor in front of the camera. For some reason, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Leonardo. Leonardo, who was in his thirties, was only like this when he was at his best.

Just using his eyes, subtle expressions and few body movements, he vividly interprets the youthful greenness of the boy.

At this moment, Kate felt something and turned around.

Martin turned around and ran, ran through the curtain, hid behind the wall, and held down his heaving chest. After a while, the people behind him came out step by step.

The conflict between ethics and primitive desires suddenly broke out at this moment.

The uneasiness and shame of peeking at the heroine changing clothes, unable to resist the temptation and desire, knowing that it was "dangerous" to come back, but still struggled to come back.

At this moment, Leonardo scolded Martin ten thousand times in his heart, and then sighed: This pervert and bastard is indeed the best suited to play a pervert.

The little pervert is also a pervert!

The audition scene ended with Sam Mendes shouting: "Stop!"

The male and female protagonists in front of the camera seem to be stuck in their roles and unable to escape, walking towards each other step by step.

After walking a few steps, Martin took the lead to leave and shouted: "Kate!"

Kate Winslet seems to be completely immersed in the character's emotions, just like Hannah did at this time, reaching out her hand to touch Martin.

The scale of this script is very large, and many shots go straight to the lower third.

Kate's hands are like this too.

Martin took a step forward, grabbed her wrist, and said, "How was my performance?"

Kate broke away from the role, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Very good, take me into the play."

Sam Mendes did not pay attention to the front, but went to watch the monitor with producer Anthony.

There is a difference between what the camera captures and what you see with the naked eye.

Even Benhard, a layman, joined in.

After watching the audition footage again, Sam asked: "What do you think?"

Anthony said: "The audition was very good. Martin showed the character's mental journey at this moment just right and beautifully, naturally and smoothly. I couldn't ask for more."

"Yes, that's him!" Benhard quickly interjected: "The Martin just now is the sixteen-year-old Michel in my novel."

Casting director Gina said: "An almost perfect audition."

The audition was not over. Martin left the audition room and returned to the dressing room to re-make up and style.

When he appeared in the audition room again, he turned into a middle-aged man.

An ordinary young actor who wants to play a middle-aged character, especially a middle-aged person like Michelle with a complex psychological process, will encounter various problems, especially in terms of mentality.

But Martin plays a middle-aged man more easily than the young man just now.

Introverted, vicissitudes of life and quiet, even a little autistic.

After all the auditions were over, the original author Benhard couldn't bear it anymore and stood up to stop Martin who was about to leave: "Mr. Davis!"

Martin seems to have not completely gotten rid of the role, his eyes and expressions are full of vicissitudes, and he just nodded slightly.

"Thank you!" Benhard's words were a bit strange. The middle-aged German uncle's face was full of sincerity: "You really made the characters in my book come alive."

Martin just said: "You're welcome."

Benhard grabbed Martin's hand and squeezed it hard.

Martin then left the audition room.

Benhard turned and looked at the big guys on the crew: "I am a layman in filmmaking, but I can feel the resonance between the characters and the actors. Martin Davis is very suitable."
